Mushroom Man

"No, that's not right..."

Wu Liang shook his head violently, extinguishing the idea of ​​using the Hidden Dragon's dream to restore the Blue-Headed Serpent.

He is now just an ordinary mushroom master, so seeing that Shouqing is a little weak is actually a good thing.

If this fairy mushroom were to be restored to its full potential, the pressure it would exert would be enough to crush his dantian.

He stared at the Locked Dragon Well, his gaze darkening.

For him right now, the Hidden Dragon Dream is not only of little use, but is even a stumbling block to his plot to seize the Dragon Palace Immortal Mushroom House.

However, just because it's not useful now doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future.

He will need to feed the Bodhi seed to restore it to its original state sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.

The dreamlike realm of the dragon hidden beneath the Locked Dragon Well is undoubtedly the best nourishment for the Bodhi seed.

"Father, are you alright?"

Lady Red covered her still-reddened neck, her voice trembling, but she still forced herself to speak.

"Should our daughter go and scout ahead next?"

Wu Liang snapped out of his daze, withdrew his gaze from the Locked Dragon Well, and said indifferently, "It's alright, you can go back now, we don't need you here anymore."

Clearly, he no longer intended to send Madam Red down to investigate.

The Dragon Lock Well is too dangerous; it is definitely not something he can covet at present.

Sending Lady Red now would be pointless except to send her to her death.

Instead of taking this pointless risk, we should figure out how to leave the Dragon Palace as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately revealed the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Upon hearing that she no longer needed to touch the strange well, Lady Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing he might change his mind, she practically fled into the tower.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, intending to bring a few dragon-man mushroom materials into the tower to discuss mushroom refining with Yan Zhaodi, but his steps suddenly stopped.

He seemed to have thought of something, and then took out a mushroom from his dantian...

That was a four-turn cosmic mushroom, the mother mushroom of the Wormhole Mushroom.

He concentrated for a moment and then buried the mother mushroom near the Dragon Locking Well.

Wu Liang did this, of course, to leave himself a way out...

As long as the wormhole mushrooms he planted here are not discovered by the dragon people.

No matter where he is in the North Sea in the future, he can use the mushroom in his hand to return directly to this place through the wormhole.

Even if others have escaped the Dragon Palace, they can still plot to seize the Immortal Mushroom House.

Once he successfully transforms into a dragon, he can even use this opportunity to steal the Fairy Mushroom House without anyone noticing.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Wu Liang carefully concealed the traces and even used the Blood-Washed Mushroom to erase all clues.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze to the dragon prisoners in the Dragon Prison.

This is the third level, where the dragon people imprisoned here are quite powerful.

Without hesitation, Wu Liang took them into the Demon Suppression Tower one by one.

There are twelve dragon people in total: three at level five, five at level four, and four at level three.

These dragon people had been imprisoned for an unknown period of time, and were now withered and devoid of all intelligence.

They were like walking corpses, completely at Wu Liang's mercy.

However, these dragon-man mushroom materials alone are not enough for him to refine mushrooms.

Upon recalling this, Wu Liang immediately returned to the second floor and took away all of the more than one hundred dragon people there.

With these Dragonman mushroom materials, there will be more than enough to refine Dragon Blood Mushroom.

With everything prepared, Wu Liang moved swiftly and entered the Demon Suppression Tower...

……

The ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Upon seeing Wu Liang appear, the several-zhang-tall Bone Immortal immediately knelt down and respectfully greeted him: "Your Excellency, Special Envoy."

Wu Liang nodded indifferently, then raised his hand and released all the dragon-human mushroom materials he had collected, placing them in this small space.

Logically speaking, the fourth floor where Yan Zhaodi is located is actually more suitable for raising dragon people. It has a spacious area, and it would be convenient to retrieve mushrooms later.

But Wu Liang still had reservations...

Raising dragon people and slaughtering mushroom-like creatures are inhumane acts of demons.

He feared that the kind-hearted Yan Zhaodi would find it difficult to accept, and he was even more afraid that this would affect her ability to make mushrooms for him later.

Although Yan Zhaodi was very loyal to him and willing to do bad things for him, one should always be wary of the possibility of something going wrong.

Therefore, Wu Liang tried his best to keep such heinous acts from Yan Zhaodi.

Moreover, Dragon Blood Mushroom is a blood-path mushroom. Rather than having Yan Zhaodi do it, it would be better for him, a master of blood-path techniques, to do it himself.

This way, the success rate can be guaranteed, and he might even gain practical experience, enabling him to become a master of alchemy sooner.

"These dragon people are now in your care."

Wu Liang looked at Bone Master, his tone calm yet authoritative, and gave the order.

"Remember, don't let them die; I have another purpose for them."

Without a doubt, it would be a real waste to use all these dragon people to refine mushrooms.

In order to ensure continued development in the future, he had to leave some survivors for reproduction.

In case something happens to the Dragon Palace one day, such as being purged by the Yellow Court or the dragon people being wiped out, etc.

He can also rely on these dragon people to continue the dragon bloodline and prevent the dragon mushroom from becoming completely extinct.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Gu Zhenren dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately responded.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, he swallowed the words back, his face showing a hesitant expression.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang frowned slightly, his tone turning cold: "You have something to say?"

Master Gu chuckled dryly, forcing himself to speak: "Your Excellency, I have a request..."

"If you intend to use these dragonmen to refine mushrooms, would you be willing to share some of my bones?"

"Oh?" Wu Liang glanced at him with some surprise.

"What do you need the dragon bones for?"

"Could it be that your stiff, bony body, like a mushroom, needs to be 'fed'?"

"That's not the case, Your Excellency has misunderstood." Master Bone quickly waved his hand.

He chuckled and explained, "I just want to borrow some dragon bones to replace dragon bones in order to prepare the mushroom materials needed for the fifth-level White Bone Corpse Demon."

Skeleton Demon...

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang gave Bone Master a deep look.

This guy has only been a fourth-level White Bone Corpse for less than half a year, and I didn't expect him to start plotting a fifth-level White Bone Corpse Demon so soon.

It must be because his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in recent days, rushing from the initial stage of the second rank to the peak of the third rank in just a few months, that spurred him on.

And this is indeed the case.

After so much time had passed, Master Gu had long realized that Wu Liang was not a true envoy of the Holy Church.

He simply pretended to be ignorant, unwilling to open his eyes and expose the truth.

He knew in his heart that Wu Liang kept him around because he still had some use.

However, as Wu Liang's cultivation progressed rapidly, it wouldn't be long before he caught up with him and advanced to the fourth level of Mushroom Master.

There is no doubt that his value is gradually decreasing.

This can be seen from the fact that he has been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower for a period of time and has never had a chance to use his skills.

In this situation, if he doesn't find a way to increase his value, it probably won't be long before he is replaced by Tie Nu, who is more loyal to Wu Liang.

This is something that Bone Immortal absolutely cannot tolerate...

He didn't want to be locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower for the rest of his life!
That is why Bone Master boldly proposed to advance to the White Bone Corpse Demon at this moment.

Ultimately, it was nothing more than wanting to demonstrate one's worth in front of Wu Liang. (End of Chapter)
